Deals are the currency of Black Friday or rather Black Thursday this year. On Thanksgiving, Toys R Us will open its doors at 5 p.m. Best Buy will welcome shoppers at 6 p.m. Walmart is hosting two major sales events at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Macy's, JC Penney, Target and Kohl's are opening at 8 p.m.

So, start planning. Here's a list of some good deals starting on Thanksgiving. (Some deals will run until Nov. 30. Be sure to check your local stores. Quantities are limited on some items.)
